#1921 (#186)

knock him off his horse

this old altisonant bore

mute him as we are

#1920

helpless insane nights

returning and cowering

people distant, small

#1919 (#185)

at the festival

all eyes on vejigante

all ready to dodge

#1918 (#184)

the money musk dance

on the floor and in the air

familiar beats

#1917 (#183)

the beach, buss up shut,

an ice cold bottle of beer…

all those Trini dreams!

#1916 (#182)

on Canada Day

we eat and we meet with all

friends and family

#1915 (#181)

at the school disco

girls and boys wait all pell-mell

unsure how to mix
